How good is Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo? Well, the Greek Freak is having the best statistical year of his career this season while being on pace to play his fewest total minutes since his rookie year.

Entering Saturday, Antetokounmpo has logged a total of 1,884 minutes. The star swingman has played over 2,500 minutes in the regular season the past four years, but new Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer has been using Giannis very efficiently this season to keep the 24-year-old fresh for the playoffs.

In 57 games this season for Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo is putting up stellar numbers. The three-time All-Star is averaging 26.8 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per contest while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 71.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Giannis is ninth in the NBA in scoring, ninth in field goal percentage and third in player efficiency rating. The Bucks have the best record in the NBA and have already clinched a playoff spot. Mike Budenholzer is a strong candidate to win Coach of the Year and many believe Antetokounmpo is the front runner for the MVP award.

Antetokounmpo is already impossible to defend. If he's fresh for the postseason, Milwaukee has a great chance at winning the Eastern Conference with ease.
